“Yes,” replied Miss Masters, concealing her repulsion.
“Well, I guess we can come to terms. Who do you want?”
“I only care for four of the girls I have seen,” replied Miss Masters. “I want that little girl, Maida, the blonde girl you call Luella, Clara, and that young brunette, Esther.”
“Gee,” said Druce, “you don’t want much, do you? Why those are the youngest and prettiest girls we’ve got in the place. That Luella has only been in the district three weeks. All the rest of them are new ones.”
“I know it. That’s why I want them.”
“They’ll cost you money.”
“I expect to pay money for them.”
“I want $200 apiece for those four girls.” The price was high. Druce thought Miss Masters would reject it.
“Very well,” returned Miss Masters. “That will be $800.”
“You’re willing to pay it?”
